Possibly the most beloved team in all of professional sports playing in one of the most iconic stadiums in sports history seems like a setting for loads of championships and dozens of hall of famers. Yet, here we are and the Cubs have won two World Championships in past 110 years. Without the tough luck over the past 100 years, they may not be the “loveable losers”. Maybe it’s the losing that has endeared them within the sports landscape. The perennial underdog even when they have more talent than the opponent. The world loves the Cubs.

Eligibility for position players requires 1,500 plate appearances, starting pitchers require 100 games started, and relief pitchers require 300 innings pitched.
